Today

Small surf off minor ESE swell. Not much size to the surf, and increasing PM texture.

Midday: We have small surf, still just enough for the big boards. Light onshore southerly breezes adding some light texture, but not bad. Surf is knee-thigh high, a few sets near waist high at standout exposures.

Afternoon Outlook: More minor surf with developing southerly breezes and textured conditions.
